I just posted a review of the Mirka CEROS sander on my blog.  There are two video segments (one is a demonstration) as well as a poll.  Please check out my review and vote on the poll!

To cut to the chase, I think that you should consider this sander because it:
  • is powerful and easy to control;
  • runs quietly and smoothly;
  • feels good because it is compact and well-balanced;
  • requires very little maintenance because it has few wearing components; and
  • does not require a large air compressor to run (as a pneumatic sander does).

Great review Chris.  I just posted over on your blog, do you have the Ceros P/N's for the 6" back-up pad and contour pad?  I haven't found them listed for sale anywhere yet.

Hi Ron,

Thanks for the comment!

I added a section in the article with part number and other suppliers.  You'll find it towards the end of the post.

Looking at their website, it appears that Woodcraft carries the back-up pad but not the contour pad.  Lee Valley and Ultimate Tools carries both items.  I'm sure there are other suppliers too.

Hope that helps!
